3110a n m,

l l I THE NORRIS Wheel 22 to the proper position the recess 47 in thetumbler 21 is positioned to permit the nose 46 to drop into such recess.The lever, however, cannot drop until all of the tumblers 17, 18 and 19have their recesses 41in alinement with the recess of the tumbler 21.The ositioning of the recesses of the said tumb ers 17, 18 and 19 isaccomplished manually by rotation of the knob 15 to bring such recessesinto alinement with the recess of the tumbler 21. It will thus beapparent that the tumblers 17, 18 and 19 cannot be so manipulated thatthe lever will fall unless-the tumbler 21 is also in position and movedthereby by the action of the clock-wOrknor can the lever fall when thetumbler 21 is in position. unless all of the other tumblers are also inalinement.

About the wheel 22 is formed a scale 48, and a pointer 49 is disposed atany approved point to indicate the necessary and desirable characters u)on the scale so that by manipulating the lever 37 the wheel 22 may berotated until the pointer 49 indicates the necessary marking upon thescale which will indicate the time at which the clock-work will move thetumbler 21 into proper position.

What I claim is 1. In a look, a plurality of tumblers independentlyoperatable, means to operate some of said tumblers manually, means tooperate another of said tumblers mechanically, and means to move themechanically operated tumbler relative to the operating means.

2. In a look, a plurality of tumblers, some of said tumblers beingoperatable manually, a clock, means connecting the clock with another ofsaid tumblers, and means to move the tumbler operated by said clockindependently of the clock.

3. In a look, a sliding bolt, an extension carried by said bolt, a leveradapted to abut the extension and hold the bolt extended, a

ceases) plurality of tumblers provided with recesses proportioned topermit the lever to drop out of engagement with the extension, means tooperate some of said tumblers manually, and means to operate one of saidtumblers mechanically.

4. In a look, a sliding bolt, an extension carried by said bolt, a leveradapted to abut theextension and hold the bolt in extended position, anose formed upon the lever, a plurality of independently rotatabletumblers provided with recesses proportioned to receive the nose, meansto rotate some of said tumblers manually, and means to rotate one ofsaid tumblers mechanically.

5. In a lock, a sliding bolt, an extension carried by said bolt, apivoted lever proportioned to abut the extension and hold the bolt inextended position, a nose formed upon the lever, a plurality ofindependently rotatable tumblers each provided with a recessproportioned to receive the nose, means to rotate some of said tumblersmanually, a clock, means connected with the clock for rotating one ofsaid tumblers therefrom, and means to rotate said tumbler independentlyof the clock.

6. In a lock, a sliding bolt, a pivoted lever adapted to hold the boltin extended position, a nose formed upon the lever, a plurality oltumblers provided with recesses proportioned to receive the nose, meansto rotate some of said. tumblers manually, a clock, a train o'l gearsconnecting the clock with and to rotate one of said tumblers, and aratchet interposed in the train of gears whereby the latter tumbler maybe rotated independently of the clock.

In testimony whereof I aflix in presence of two witnesses.
